title: The weakly-bound complex Cl.N2O studied by high resolution photodetachment photoelectron spectroscopy.
abstract: Zero kinetic energy photoelectron spectroscopy of the weakly bound complex Cl(-).N(2)O is presented. Adiabatic detachment energies between the anionic complex and the neutral complex states X(1/2), I(3/2), and II(1/2) as well as frequencies of van der Waals modes are supplied. Supported by theoretical simulations, these results correlate with a T-shaped structure of the anionic and an L-shaped structure of the neutral molecular complex. The weakly bound neutral complex Cl.N(2)O has been discussed as a prereactive state of the chemical reaction Cl + N(2)O --> ClO + N(2) [A. Lesar, M. Hodoscek, M. Senegacnik, J. Chem. Phys. 1996, 105, 917].
